Abstract
A method for enhancing verification efficiency regarding error handling mechanism of a controller of a Flash memory includes: providing an error generation module, for generating errors; and triggering the error generation module to actively generate errors of at least one specific type in order to increase an error rate corresponding to the specific type. An associated memory device and the controller thereof are provided, where the controller includes: a ROM arranged to store a program code; a microprocessor arranged to execute the program code to control access to the Flash memory and manage a plurality of blocks, and further enhance the verification efficiency regarding error handling mechanism of the controller; and an error generation module arranged to generate errors. The controller that executes the program code by utilizing the microprocessor triggers the error generation module to actively generate errors of at least one specific type to increase an error rate.
